Types of Magnetic Structure of Manganese Monosilicide MnSi

Caption

Types of magnetic structure of manganese monosilicide MnSi depending on magnetic field strength, temperature and crystal orientation. The red area is similar to the mixed state of type II superconductors where the vortex structure is formed as a result of condensation of individual quasi-particles -- skyrmions. The pink area shows the region of the anisotropic skyrmion-like phase.
